One bouncer after another at the press conference, Taijul Islam keeps hitting the pull shot outside the boundary. Sometimes outside the gallery. At the end of the first day of the Dhaka Test against South Africa, Taijul was found in a different form.
There is a reason. Being a bowler of the same genre, Taijul’s career was under the shadow of Shakib Al Hasan. He stepped out of that shadow by performing brilliantly whenever he got the chance. Even today, the magical whirlwind is showing the team the dream of winning.
However, there is a bit of regret in the voice of not matching the fame of the star, in fact, in our country, to be honest, many things are done by word of mouth. Word of mouth is that many people have gone from being trolls to stars by doing bad things. Couldn’t become a star again. It has happened a lot. I accepted it. There is no (way) but acceptance.’
About 20 questions were asked in the press conference. More than 15 questions were about Shakib. If Shakib had played against the Proteas, maybe the two would have bowled in a partnership, but since he didn’t, the responsibility now rests on his shoulders. The press conference also started with Shakib’s absence.
Taijul’s reply ‘The first question is that you don’t have a brother Shakib. No Shakib bhai, I have not played without Shakib bhai. I have been playing many matches without Shakib bhai.
Leaving his words, Taijul rushed towards team success without Shakib, ‘We are winning Tests in New Zealand, Shakib was not a brother. When we are winning matches here with New Zealand; Shakib was not a brother. There are many such examples. In fact, you cannot play a player for 50 years.’
Taijul touched his 200th career wicket on the first day of the Dhaka Test. In this case too, he has left Shakib behind. Where Taijul took 84 innings, Shakib took 91 innings. The left-arm spinner asked to pray that another cricketer like Shakib comes along.
The left-arm spinner said, ‘Sometimes one comes, one goes. 10 years, 15 years, at most 20 years; We have to accept it. In fact, there is no doubt that he was a very good player. But we will also pray, you will also pray that another person like him comes or that those who are there now also perform well.’
After winning the toss and batting, Bangladesh could not take advantage in the first innings. All out was just 106 runs. The Proteas scored 141 runs for 6 wickets. The lead in front of Bangladesh is 34 runs. Taijul alone took 5 wickets.
He said earlier that he wants to take more than three hundred wickets in his career. That was the question. Taijul is very calculating, ‘Let me calculate how many tests there are before. Now if there are 10 tests in 5 years then it will not happen (laughs).’
